There has been a discovery that might fundamentally alter our understanding of the cosmos. Yes, that’s correct, and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is to blame for it all.
In case you are unaware, the JWST is a sophisticated iteration of the renowned Hubble telescope from 1990, which was launched into orbit in December 2021.
The JWST has lived up to predictions, making a number of cosmic discoveries that may potentially indicate the existence of life somewhere else than our little planet.
It went on to discover that once dust and discs formed around two stars, possible planets may be developing right in front of our eyes.
Numerous high-resolution photos of galaxies, stars in the process of formation, and even early-stage black holes have been obtained by the telescope (which is more terrifying than fascinating).
